The exterior of the pot is decorated with Shōryū's signature tenmoku (天目) effect, with spots of subtly iridescent colour. Unlike a true glaze, this effect is not vitreous and retains the clay's natural matte feel. The kyusu is further decorated with delicately hand-painted pink plum blossoms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kyusu was made by Shōji Umehara (梅原昭二) of Shōryū Kiln (昭龍窯). Born in 1945, Umehara-san has become well known for his unique tenmoku-inspired spin on classic Tokoname-yaki kyusu.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Teawareish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548299288620,"sku":"US-K123","price":164.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1jG6qo1GHXw37BK4ItQU_1dWUCWX6mama.jpg?v=1779028931","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/plum-blossom-tenmoku-tokoname-kokudei-teapot-260ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
